This spell is a variant of the continual darkness spell. It can be cast into the air, onto an object, or at a creature. In the third case, the spell affects the space about one foot behind a creature that successfully saves vs. spell. But it instead brings into being a swirling mass of deep gray shadows that persist in the area until dispelled. This shadows look and feel completely normal in all ways, except they visually limit creatures to sight according to that of twilight.
The continual shades also serve to obscure and distort the images of all those within their confines. Only shadow mages can see clearly who or what they face within this confusing miasma of shadows.
Note: Continual shades is totally unaffected by all forms of light and darkness spells, however, they cannot form within its area of effect.
Notes: Uncommon to shadow mages; otherwise very rare.
